Throughout the restaurant you will find many works of art, styles ranging from classic to modern with a number of mediums represented. Our collection has been built up over 25 years, often from artists with a personal relationship to the restaurant.

THE MENU

The menu is a blend of classical dishes that reflect the traditional, authentic flavours and techniques of Italian cuisine and Armando’s signature dishes. Over the years Armando has become known for using only the freshest of ingredients to create full-flavoured, in-season dishes. We celebrate the simplicity of buffalo mozzarella, and burrata (flown directly from Italy) paired with candied tomatoes or the more complex assembly of the Timballo.

THE WINE LIST

The wine list has won countless awards for its quality and selection. It is Italian-based with a broad, regional cross-section and an emphasis on Barolo and Southern Italian whites. Our list also includes an excellent Australian representation including 14 vintages of Grange and a wide Cabernet selection.
